摘要
Poor survival of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) compromised the efficacy of stem cell therapy for myocardial infarction. The increase of exogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) in infracted heart is one of the important factors that challenged the survival of donor MSCs. In the study we aimed to evaluate the effect of oxidative stress on the cell death of MSCs and investigate its mechanisms in order to help with the identification of new biological compounds to reduce donor cells damage. Apoptosis of MSCs were evaluated with Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry analysis. The mitochondrial membrane potential of MSCs was analyzed with JC-1 staining. Signaling pathways involved in H(2)O(2) induced apoptosis were analyzed with Western blot. H(2)O(2) induced apoptosis of MSCs in a dose- and time-dependent manner. H(2)O(2) induced apoptosis of MSCs via both endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondrial pathways rather than extrinsic apoptosis pathway. H(2)O(2) caused transient rather than sustained activation of p38 and JNK with no effect on ERK1/2 pathway. P38 was involved in the regulation of early apoptosis of MSCs while JNK was involved in the late apoptosis. P38 directed both ER stress and mitochondria death pathway in the early apoptosis. In conclusion, exogenous ROS was a major factor to induce apoptosis of MSCs. Both ER stress and mitochondria death pathway were involved in the apoptosis of MSCs. H(2)O(2) activated p38 that directed the above two pathways in the regulation of early apoptosis of MSCs while JNK was involved in the late apoptosis of MSCs.
